Problem description

There is a problem with versions of the boa web server prior to
0.94.8.3 that make it possible to access files outside of the server's
document root by the use of properly constructed URL requests.
Linux-Mandrake started shipping the boa web server with 7.2 beta which
uses the fixed 0.94.8.3 version. Linux-Mandrake users who have
installed this package on their own are encouraged to upgrade to the
version found in 7.2 beta or cooker.
